Certified Rolfer™

I believe I began my interest in the musculoskeletal system and how it relates to the nervous system function as a kid in ballet. Without having the language for what I was sensing, I felt that changes in movement ability could create changes in thought quality and breath. In college, I practiced Yoga, and in Grad school I began teaching Yoga at OmTree Shala. This began to give me a sense of connective tissue and its relationship to the function of our blood flow, viscera, brain, etc. After school, in the Fall of 2013, I went to the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, CO deciding to make bodywork a career. I completed Rolfing school in the summer of 2015. I began practicing Rolfing right away in Lawrence between phases of Rolfing school under the mentorship of Holly Krebs of Kinetikos Health Collective, and became a full time Rolfing Structural Integrator in 2015. Currently, I'm studying and practicing Visceral Manipulation and CranioSacral Therapy via the Barral and Upledger Institute. I continue to practice movement and I'm emerging myself in the enormous benefit of giving and receiving Massage at Elevate Arts of Wellness and Float Spa, at 14th and Mass.

I believe we can change the holding patterns of our BODIES. and in doing this, we can change the way we perceive, internalize, and interact with our environment. this is the physical approach to mental and behavioral health.

I work in a private, downtown office Tuesdays-Saturdays at 719 Massachusetts St. suite #113 and you can find me at Elevate Arts of Wellness Monday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons.
